My grandpa passed away this morning.
:(

Thankfully, he wasn't in pain, and lived to be 92 1/2 years old. Still, it sucks.

He wasn't the same after my grandma passed away this February, as one can understand.

The last time we saw him was on Memorial Day, and he was having a good day then. I'm glad that we had a good visit (he died at the condo at the beach where my grandparents lived. I'm glad it was a peaceful setting, too.).

9. Sorry man..
it's hard to lose someone you love and while it is good he wasn't in pain, it doesn't make losing him easier for you I'm sure...

10. I'm sorry about your grandfather
I lost two of my grandparents in the past few years. It is hard. I think that those of us who are young sometimes forget how much of a full life that they had long before we were born though. My condolences to you and your family.

I know what it's like to lose a grandparent. But I'm glad that lived to such a good age and that he wasn't in pain and that you will have many good memories of the time you spent together. May your grandfather rest in peace and my deepest and sincerest thoughts, prayers and condolences once again to you and your family:hug: :hug: :hug;

14. Very sorry, SCRUBDASHRUB
My grandfather lived to be 89, but the grief didn't lessen because he was old. In fact, I had more memories.

16. Thanks you all. Hugs to each of you.
In accordance with Jewish tradition, the funeral is tomorrow at 12:30 PM. I'm heading down to be with my parents tonight.

:hug: And, yes it does suck, no matter how old they live to be. My favorite granny died 6 months before her 100th b'day and it was still very sad to lose her.
